Fort Tryon Park and the Heather Garden

The Fort Tryon Park Trust

Mission Statement:

The mission of the Fort Tryon Park Trust (formerly known as the Heather Garden Endowment) is to promote the restoration, preservation, and enhancement of this historic and scenic landmark for the benefit and use of the surrounding community and all New Yorkers. The Trust will achieve this through advocacy and fundraising, working in partnership with the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation and other organizations.

The Fort Tryon Park Trust has a goal of raising a $15 million endowment for sustaining the park and has already raised over $2 million for the Heather Garden. Additional gifts from the Peter Jay Sharp Foundation and the Arthur Ross Foundation will be put towards the restoration of the Alpine Garden and the creation of a Winter Walk, respectively.
